Baridi, Swahili for cold, reflects the Peet’s point of view on cold brewed coffee. Some beans make much better cold brewed coffee than others, so we set out to craft a blend designed specifically to be refreshing and delicious over ice. That means finding beans with the perfect flavor notes and roast profile to be bold up front with a crisp, clean finish, and we put a lot of extra time and care into selecting ours.

After extensive testing and blending, we chose the best East African coffees, select washed qualities from Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Rwanda. These coffees are overtly aromatic, even when chilled, and inherently bright and juicy, revving up the refreshment of an iced coffee drink. Roasting it more in a medium style, the payoff is as surprising as it is sweet. That's why, even though it's an excellent hot coffee, this blend makes the ideal cold brewed coffee.
